Sig #1278
Just got an e-mail from a delivery coordinator and he indicated that the logistics team sent him an e-mail and said that my car will be leaving on a truck tomorrow morning.
He also pointed out the the trek to Texas can take 3 to 10 days depending on the stops on the way. I guess I'm kind of numb....it gets here when it gets here.

I play a nice person on twitter.
We're getting slammed with rain, but there is supposed to be a break tomorrow morning. That's a great start for your car's journey home. 
They must be batching based on location. In order to get as many as possible delivered by Dec. 31
That's the only explanation why my P3385 got a VIN of 1708 and P3366 got a VIN of 1707 that I can think of. We are both within 30 miles of the factory. Now as to why he is getting his car delivered today and mine is still getting painted... No ideas there

I'm not a betting guy, but I'd guess you will be next to last.
This Signature reservation holder was a day or so away from delivery when he discovered that his Model S was involved in an accident.
By the way, I haven't received delivery of my Performance Signature either, and haven't received a firm delivery date yet. However, based on the fact that it is in transit I have tentatively scheduled my delivery party. So I'm hoping I will be spared the embarrassment of sending out a "NEVERMIND" message to all my guests. :redface:

Congrats to all the new vins and dates!
This quote from tesla forum is very telling:
"The array of motors set out in the factory that i think were pointed out as the performance ones was much smaller than the standard ones, i.e. 5 instead of hundreds."

Thanks for that info, as I just heard from a DS (DES?) tonight about finalizing paperwork and payment. I assume they're ready to ship mine ASAP, so that means I may have my car in less than 2 weeks? I'm trying not to get too excited!
Also, as a side note, this is not only exciting because of the car. My fiance is going to move in with me once I get the S, as she will be driving my current Prius. She works about an hour away and her current car both guzzles gas and is likely going to fall apart in the next 6-12 months anyways. I don't want her driving it for safety reasons. But I get a brand new car and a live-in pre-wife whenever it's delivered

TSLA will win
From which thread is the quote and this info? I couldn't find it in the usual "Model S Deliveries - latest actual info on dates and vehicles being delivered" thread (in the Nov 28 range). EDIT: found it already.

Oh, that really bites. There always seems to be at least one person who is in a worse spot than you are.
My recollection is that my DS told me that all paperwork says 95 miles to give them plenty of room to wiggle.
Mine was received with 65 miles, even though the paperwork said 95.
Whoa! Except, of course, you were a special case. Didn't they screw up your process so bad they decided to helicopter the car in to you to make up for it?:wink:

The Google lies... that's closer to a 14-15 hour drive, and truck speed limits are slower than car for much of the drive.. of course, maybe I'm just adjusting for two kids, but I can't remember making that drive in 12 hours without breaking at least a couple laws
I use Travel Math - Trip Calculator to calculate, and it was about 1 day and 19 hours from Fremont to here, and I was hoping for 12 hour driving days :-D
Delivery cancelled this morning due to weather and distance. I was going to meet them 1/2 way but can't now due to emergency situation here. Making me once again in the running for the last of the Sigs. Delivery will be rescheduled for this week sometime. For all you general production reservation Washington state people, get ready to get the call as about 12+ hours of delivery specialist time just got freed up today.
